13.10. Offline advertising for barbershops: Billboard and outdoor media

Offline advertising, especially outdoor media like billboards, can be an effective tool for attracting customers to your barbershop. Although online advertising is dominating the market, offline advertising still has a significant place in the beauty and personal care industry. In this chapter, we will discuss the various forms of offline advertising and how you can use them to promote your barber shop.

Outdoor

Billboard is one of the oldest forms of advertising. It offers a large, visible space to display your marketing message. The location of the billboard is crucial to its success. Ideally, it should be located in a high-traffic area where lots of people can see it. Additionally, the billboard design must be attractive and the message must be clear and concise.

When creating a billboard for your barbershop, consider what you want people to do after seeing it. Do you want them to visit your barbershop right away? Or do you want them to remember the name of your barbershop for a future visit? This decision will influence the message and design of your billboard.

For example, if you want people to visit your barbershop right away, you can include a special offer or discount on the billboard. If you want them to remember the name of your barbershop, you can create a billboard with a memorable design and your barbershop's name in large letters.

External Media

In addition to billboards, there are other forms of outdoor media that you can use to promote your barbershop. This includes banners, signs, banners, and even in-vehicle advertising.

Banners and signs can be placed in strategic locations around your city to attract people's attention. They can be used to announce special promotions, new services, or simply to increase the visibility of your barbershop.

Banners can be used at local events to promote your barbershop. For example, you could sponsor a local sporting event and display a banner with your barbershop's name and a marketing message.

Advertising on vehicles, such as cars and buses, is another effective form of outdoor media. You can wrap a vehicle with your barbershop's name and contact information. This will not only increase your barber shop's visibility but also serve as a form of mobile advertising.

In summary, offline advertising, especially outdoor media, is still an effective way to promote your barbershop. It can help increase your barbershop's visibility, attract new customers, and retain existing customers. However, like any other form of advertising, it must be used strategically to maximize its benefits.

Remember, the key to effective advertising is consistency. So be consistent with your marketing message whether it is delivered online or offline. And remember, the best form of advertising is a satisfied customer. So focus on providing exceptional service, and the publicity will come naturally.
